This last volume of the \textit{Handbook of the history of logic} is devoted to the history of its central concepts. We thus have a history (i) of the logical consequence relation, (ii) of quantification, (iii) of negation, (iv) of the connectives, (v) of truth values, (vi) of modal traditions, (vii) of natural deduction, (viii) of connexivity (the idea that there is some sort of ``connection'' between antecedent and consequent), (ix) of types, (x) of the fallacies in Western logic, and (xi) of logic diagrams. These highly readable histories stretch from antiquity to the present day and are provided with very generous bibliographies.
